Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10
software-center:
  Installed: 13.10-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 13.10-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 13.10-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

This seems to be a regressive symptom of recent releases. The window for this signup that pops up from the program does not respond well when fonts have been resized to accommodate visual difficulties. The text is scrunched, the bottom secion with the Ubuntu One agreement cannot be scrolled onto the window. The Capcha segment is too small.

If you really want people to sign up for this service, I'd suggest you do some testing at different text sizes. Overall, system tool windows in general are either untested with larger fonts or derived from some template that seriously needs fixing.
